202: One sword slays the emperor

"Your guts are quite big, kid. Even if you really have some trick to attain Great Emperor Cultivation, you will definitely not be my match. When will you be able to take a single blow from me?"

A sinister smile appeared on the old man's face. Regardless of whether the other party truly had any tricks, his next strike would be with full force. He intended to take the other party's life; even a Great Emperor Powerhouse would be severely injured!

If one forcibly raised their strength using external means to barely reach the Great Emperor level, there would be absolutely no possibility of surviving this blow.

Li Haotian had already used the Great Emperor Cultivation Experience Card, and a look of confidence hung on his face.

"Come."

Upon hearing this, the old man gently raised the crutch in his hand, the bottom of which was pointed directly at Li Haotian's head.

"I will attack here next, so take care of yourself."

After saying this, the old man slowly stepped back, his entire figure hiding in the darkness before vanishing from sight.

Immediately after, green shadows kept passing over the surrounding rooftops; this was clearly the scene caused by the old man moving at high speed in the vicinity.

Li Haotian stood motionless in place. Clad in a heaven-rank golden magic treasure, it would be extremely difficult for the other party to break his defense.

The sound of something breaking through the air rang out from behind him, but Li Haotian did not react at all, simply standing quietly in place.

"To think he could actually see through the Grand Elder's feint. Although the flying dart behind it was a feint, under normal circumstances one would turn around to look, yet he is so cautious and careful. He is truly impressive."

"The former trash of the Heavenly Profound Sect has actually turned into such a Powerhouse today. He wore the title of trash all this time so that our various forces would lower their guard. This must be the successor cultivated by the Heavenly Profound Sect!"

The crowd discussed it noisily, all fixing their gazes upon Li Haotian.

Li Haotian stood quietly in place. A crisp sound came from behind him as the flying dart struck his Magic Treasure, but it did not cause any waves, merely piercing his clothes.

The next instant, a beam of clear light burst out from the soil, and wrapped within that green light was none other than the old man holding the crutch.

The old man's mouth curled into a smile; in his view, this strike had already landed.

Li Haotian still made no defensive moves. If it were before, he would have dodged or blocked, but ever since facing a Powerhouse Beyond Great Emperor that exceeded the limits of this plane, his mindset had changed somewhat.

Those Powerhouses couldn't even hurt him in the slightest, let alone this fellow before him.

Whether it was that black elephant or the White Elephant Clan Powerhouse in the scroll, neither had caused him any substantial damage. He could survive attacks of that caliber, and while this attack was also sharp, it merely tore the space around his weapon, nothing more.

This attack intensity was considered extremely strong in the eyes of a Great Emperor, but in his eyes, it was not enough.

The crutch in the old man's hand had actually turned into a Sharp Weapon for killing. The bottom of the crutch instantly transformed into a sharp spike, heading straight for Li Haotian's head.

At the very moment it was about to make contact with Li Haotian, the crutch suddenly traced a strange trajectory, forcibly sliding from his face down to his chest.

This old man never intended to attack his head from the start; saying those words was just to make the other party guard his head, when in fact, his true target was the other party's heart.

When the crutch collided with his chest, an extremely powerful rebounding force instantly transmitted through, and the crutch in the old man's hand shattered at that moment.

The crutch in his hand was made of the extremely rare Dragon Steel Wood, and its hardness could be said to be the most terrifying among all woods.

Moreover, he had specially commissioned a Great Master of forging Magic Treasures, and it took decades to create this weapon that appeared to be a crutch but was actually a short blade.

Its grade directly reached Heaven Rank Red, making it an extremely rare item.

Yet upon contacting the other party's Magic Treasure, not only did it fail to cause any damage, but it instead made his own hand ache, and the Magic Treasure in his hand was directly ruined. This powerful rebounding ability was enough to prove that the quality of the Magic Treasure worn by the other party was far higher than the crutch in his own hand.

The Magic Treasure in his hand was already Heaven Rank Red; wouldn't the Magic Treasure worn by the other party be...

Thinking of this, the old man widened his eyes in shock. At the same time, he was also shocked by the other party's strength. Even if a Quasi-Emperor were wearing this set of Magic Treasures and were stabbed by him, while they wouldn't have their defense broken, they would at least be forced back half a step.

Yet the other party stood firmly in place, motionless, with a very indifferent expression on his face.

The smile on his face froze, and just as he wanted to steady his figure and shake hands with the other party to make peace.

It seemed that what the other party said before was not false; he really had the strength of a Great Emperor. The collision between the two had already decided the outcome of the bet.

Although he felt he was very strong and arrogant, he absolutely did not want to make an enemy of a Prodigy possessing such talent.

Just when he was prepared to take out some of his belongings to apologize to the other party, attempting to ease the relationship between the two.

A golden fist rapidly enlarged in his field of vision, then fiercely hammered into his face.

The defenseless old man was sent flying by this punch, creating a huge cloud of dust. When the dust settled, there was no sign of the old man. Li Haotian instantly locked onto the other party's aura; he had already fled to a city wall dozens of miles away.

Li Haotian turned his head to look at the other Emerald Bird Pavilion Powerhouses here, a chilling smile appearing on his face: "I have already completed the bet; he is not my match. Now we are going to start a great battle. If any of you dare to come out and stop me, I will absolutely kill you with one sword."

Li Haotian's voice spread rapidly. A Powerhouse from the Emerald Bird Pavilion slowly walked out with a calm and composed smile on his face. He was also a Great Emperor, and this Powerhouse was the Grand Elder stationed here by the Emerald Bird Pavilion.

"It seems this matter was a misunderstanding on our Emerald Bird Pavilion's part. We are willing to take out a portion as compensation, so please, Your Excellency, do not continue..."

This Great Emperor Powerhouse had only spoken half his words when he was suddenly pierced through the throat by a Long Sword.

Immediately after, in his gaze of disbelief, his Divine Soul and Physical Body were instantly crushed by powerful Sword Qi.

The remaining Emerald Bird Pavilion Powerhouses were stunned by the scene before them and began to roar angrily one after another.

"Audacious!"

"Damn it!"

"Kid, are you tired of living? You actually dare to kill our Great Emperor Powerhouse."

After hearing these noisy rebukes, a trace of disdain appeared on Li Haotian's face.

"I said that if anyone among you dared to come out and stop me, I would kill them. You treated my words as farts; aren't you just courting death?"

Li Haotian's tone was cold as he gently wiped the wuji sword.

He then cast his sharp gaze onto everyone present.

"I am now going to complete our bet. If you dare to stop me again, none of you will live!"

Li Haotian's aura was released instantly. All the Powerhouses turned pale and took half a step back; even the Great Emperor Powerhouses among them did not dare to intervene now. The other party had just beheaded a Great Emperor with a single sword at lightning speed, which was enough to demonstrate the other party's strength.
